Pacifier Help?

Super Nanny has the toddler put it in a gift bag for the paci fairy. The paci fairy takes the pacifiers and leaves the child a "big girl/boy" present in it's place. (in other words - cold turkey).

I agree with another response about Super Nanny. Collect ALL the pacifiers, put them in a pretty bag and tell your children the paci fairy needs them for new little babies and that they are big boys/girls now. Hang the bag in a tree or set in on the deck, leave a present for each in the morning. Make a big fuss on how big they are now and don't talk about the pacifiers anymore. Stick with a plan though. I don't think 2 is too early at all!

Try cutting a very small piece of the tip of the nipple on the pacifier. Cut a little more off every other day. And make sure to throw all but the pacy you are cutting. They will eventually through out the pacifiers because they won't work anymore and then it their decision to lose it and it's less traumatizing. My friend told me the other day she got her daughter to give her pacifier to the Easter bunny since the Easter bunny was so nice to bring her a gift. Hope this helps.

you need to try to get them into something else. it is a security issue believe it or not. my oldest now 8 now and was on his binky up to 4 and santa took them at christmas. no u r not starting to early. this is a good time since the earlier the better the doc says. there is many ways to do this. you can take them all together in general. You can take them when they r sleeping and say they r lost, or just don't give into them when they ask or whine, it sounds like you will be the harder one to deal with it. i had a hard time more then my oldest. my youngest never took a binky. ask their doc to help you break them, and they should be willing. good luck :)

This is a good time, we had to quit cold turkey with my son. Just took it away, and that was that. Make sure to throw all the back ups away in your house so you won't be tempted to give in. It will be tough for a day or two, but well worth it. Our son finally started to sleep thru the night after he was broke from it. Good luck!

I agree with the above answers. Cold turkey is a good way. It worked great with my nephew. That is the way I'm gonna go when my baby gets to be that old.

I think you should take it a little bit a time. Like only let them have it at certain times of the day. Then reduce the number of times of day they can have it. Next, reduce how long each time they can have it, until eventually they can't have it at all. That's how my mom did it for me, and it worked out well.

I don't have any kids. But I've heard the best way is to just take them away - cold turkey.
